Intro to blogging: read and response & why are blogs better

Well this years commemoration of international youth day does mark the launch of the international year of youth.the youth of today are the future,we can change the world to be safer.people can get closer across generations with different cultures and religion.i think it is good what the United Nations along with its youth organization are doing something that could make our world better.the older generation also learn from the youth as they come of age.

Why are blogs better ?

A blog is a website where you write stuff on a ongoing basis.and using less paper is beneficial to the environment.using blogs have reshaped the world,impacted politics and removed government,and enabled millions of young people to have a voice on the web along with others. A blog lets you have a voice on the web. It's somewhere to collect and share anything. It's more than just putting your thoughts on the web. Having a blog lets you share your personal thoughts and opinions where everyone can see it.

-Advantage of the strategy is that usually the Japanese would be surprised and unprepared for the U.S. to attack them and they would probably have a bunch of their soldiers wiped out. However, the Japanese bases could contact each other telling them to prepare for a surprise attack from the US.

-the disadvantage of the plan were that although America had more warships than japan, japan was better equipped and seasoned to deal when a battle at sea. doing island hopping meant that taking on their navy also was a war of attrition.

Focus Q 3 - Why do you think the Japanese changed their approach from trying to win the support of the colonial peoples to acting as conquerors?

- it was Because the "Greater Co-prosperity Sphere" was simply a cover for pure unadulterated imperialism. The British, French and Dutch Colonial Systems were no panacea but, it was a very light hand on the colonies compared to the fist of the Japanese.
